Why these settings

Original used Hamer Special humbuckers into a driven amp. Your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output, so I rolled tone knob to 7 to warm it up and pushed mid +2 on the Deluxe Reverb to compensate for its natural mid-scoop. The Tank G provides the overdrive since the Deluxe Reverb stays clean at reasonable volumes — this is your gain source, not the amp.

PRO TIPFor the iconic intro riff and solo sustain, dig in with your pick on the attack then lighten up — Kean's tone breathes dynamically. Roll your guitar volume to 7-8 for the verse chords to clean up, then back to 10 for lead sections.
